Not exactly. There are two kind of data, that is stored in
/var/log/wicd/wicd.log:
* stdout/stderr from subprocessed, that wicd executes
* messages from wicd proper like 'Autoconnecting...'
If I specify --no-{stdout,stderr}, first group of messages will indeed
go to standard streams of wicd, but messages from wicd proper will go
to /var/log/wicd/wicd.log nevertheless.
